Woodlawn Girls Night

Welcome to our first girls night!

Novemeber 14, 2025,
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Woodlawn NE, Portland, OR

Potluck Dinner & Community Connection Activity

 

Hosted by me, Lumalia — beauty hunter, artist, author, mama, and experience curator.

My heart is to help us all say we actually know our neighbors.
To return to a time when we could ask each other for a cup of sugar, a ride to the airport, or simply share a meal without needing an excuse — because we belong to one another just by living nearby.

Here in Portland, we’re a glorious mix of big-hearted introverts, shy souls, and wild-hearted kids who never entirely grew up (thank goodness). I believe real connection can happen when we dare to step outside our cozy homes and meet the beautiful humans around us.

What to Expect

We’ll share a potluck dinner, get to know each other, and enjoy a simple, playful connecting activity.

Come ready to:

  • Meet your neighbors (Portland’s 85% introverts, so you’ll fit right in 😉)

  • Celebrate women as wisdom keepers

  • Play, laugh, and listen deeply

  • Be in a space with no agenda, no politics, no religion — just women remembering our power and belonging

This is a space for all womb bearers, regardless of pronouns.

This Gathering Is For You If…

  • You’re a tween, middle-aged beauty, twenty-something figuring it out, mama, auntie, gray-haired wisdom keeper, toddler, teen — anyone who proudly identifies as a girl or woman.

  • You’re ready to step out of your comfort zone (even just a little) and connect with real humans you can feel through heartbeat, breath, and shared presence.

  • You’ve been craving a third place beyond work and home — a space to belong, connect, and be part of something heartfelt and real.

Location

Due to the gathering being held at a private home in Woodlawn, the address will be emailed after your RSVP is reviewed.
Spots are limited to keep it cozy and connective.

FAQ

  • I’m not sure if I want to come — should I RSVP?
    Nope. Kindly, no. This isn’t a space for dabbling or “maybe.” Commitment might feel edgy, but I think we’re all tired of people ghosting or half-showing up. Let’s change that together. Be an F Yes or F No** woman. (Your life might just feel more aligned if you do — said with love 💋).
  • I can’t arrive on time — should I still RSVP?
    If you’ll be more than an hour late, please skip this round. You’ll miss the introductions and flow that make the evening meaningful.
  • Can boys join us?
    Ideally, no. If you’re a single mama, please try to find a sitter. Boys under 2 are welcome.
  • I own a small business — can I share about it?
    Yes, you’re welcome to come! Just remember this is about connection, not conversion. Women can feel when someone’s selling. Please come to share yourself, not your offers.

About the Author

Hey, I’m Lumalia, photographer, author, certified somatic movement yoga teacher, and the main voice behind Celebrate Again. I call myself a connection architect because I have a deep passion for guiding us all to fall back in love with life through states of beauty, but many of us are far from feeling at home in our own bodies, so we seek to find safety in others. 

Yikes, that’s scary, I know; I did that for three decades, too, until I returned home to myself.

I’m so excited to share with you all I’ve learned and this beautiful journey back home to what makes you absolutely stunning just because you are alive today.
